Esflher Wiseman, of the sophomore was called home from school Tuesday on account of her brother’s sickness. f The next football game will be with Kankakee at this place on Saturday, November 16th. This will be the last before Thanksgiving and a good crowd should come out and help the boys Win. Rev. Winn gave the principal of the high school several cards to pass to the students of each room for the purpose of canvassing the school. Each pupil was asked to sign a card, promising to attend church on Sundays, November 17th and 24th. Each stated which church was preferred and one hundred and twenty-eight cards in all were signed. Forty-four of this number preferred the Mjethodist church, thirty-eighf the Christian, twenty-eight the Presbyterian, twelve the Catholic and four showed no preference. r A good basket ball schedule is prom"ised for this year and more interest will be taken in it than has ever been shown before.
